ESHAS-9 - Respond

My LO features marks and a photo from the amazing workshop I just finished called "Spontaneous Mark Making" taught by Pamela Paulsrud and sponsored by Friends of Calligraphy, a San Francisco-area calligraphy guild. The text snippets are from Peter Levitt's website and particularly this excerpt from his book "Fingerpainting the Moon":
Years ago I was told a story in which the painter Paul Klee said, 'When I paint what you know, I bore you. And when I paint what I know, I bore me. So I paint what I don't know.' Isn't that wonderful? Paint or write what you don't know. Create what you have not even begun to suspect. This is risk. It is the freeing intent behind most original work. According to Klee, the means to help our deepest selves make their mark in the world is right here in the tip of our innocent pencil or brush...
What a thought-provoking composition. We are wired, I think, to take the safe path but I know from my own experience that it's the dancing on the edge that reaches down to the deepest spots. Thanks for contributing your inspiring work to our summer challenge.
 
My hat is off to you... you created a page using the provided supplies and no one would guess that was what you used... You managed to use the parts of the items that were generic and not in your face recognizable... I really like your composition and words of explanation.... it really is an amazing page... just went back to admire again!
 
I totally agree with the comments, you took this mini kit and went that extra mile and created something fresh and new. I so love what you wrote, knowing full well, when I step out of my comfort zone I discover something wonderful I didn't know was there. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience and layout with us.
 
Indeed, a most inspiring work--so very unique! Glad you have shared your experience with the rest of us. It is a work that needs to be revisited.
 
thanks so much for the message - it rings so true - love how you used the mini kits! awesome page!
